"Social/Cultural Issues

What are the major social/cultural issues regarding immigration?

Do the immigrants differ from the majority population of the destination country? Some areas to consider are religion, language, gender roles/expectations, income, political system, etc.

What services or protections are in place for immigrants? Are there cultural sharing or exchange programs?

What do the immigrants themselves have to say about their experiences with regard to integration or assimilation? Do they desire greater integration and assimilation? Do they prefer to live in their own communities? Explain the dynamic in terms of lived experiences in an immigrant’s new country. " Immigration Paper assignment - Dr. Amy Sumpter
